Exiting the house they make their way back to the pool of water that they'd arrived in. As Quentin had observed, there was another metal gate nearby which he suspected was the other end of the the tunnel they'd found in the very first chamber, right before Gareth had pulled the lever that sent them down quickly.

"If I had to guess, they used the chute for the rapid descent of goods and people when they needed it. With the side tunnel being meant for exiting or general entrance." He says as he eyes checking the latch. It wasn't locked, unlike the one up top, he managed to turn it with a grunt of effort. However, the hinges were rusted shut. He considers the problem for a moment and then ties a rope to the gate.

"Well, lets try this." He suggests, starting to heave on the rope hoping to pry the thing open with sheer burte force.
